Analysis for Office Boot Camp

DATES:21-22 June (the 2 days immediately following Summit). Wednesday through Thursday will consist of a hands-on workshop with Analysis for Office. Friday, 23 June is a bonus day that will cover a “Deep dive into SAP BPC 10.1 NetWeaver Embedded”.

COST: £950, plus 20% VAT. All registrants will also receive FREE access to the EMEA Summit, EPM Summit Online, as well as the free “Deep dive into SAP BPC 10.1 NetWeaver Embedded on Friday, 23 June.

OVERVIEW:The EPM Add-in and Analysis for Office are merging to form one SAP Excel Plug-in. Many BPC users are familiar with the robust and powerful features/benefits of using the EPM Add-in. Analysis for Office (AO) is a business intelligence (BI) and multi-dimensional data analysis tool that makes it easy to filter and manipulate data, identify trends and outliers right within Excel. AO allows you to share and present findings in live PowerPoint presentations with a direct connection to your various data sources – BPC, BW, HANA and other sources. Today, AO is the Plug-in that is used for BPC Embedded (strongly recommended) and BPC Optimized for S/4HANA Finance (required) implementations. Soon, you will have the best of both worlds as SAP combines features and functions from both tools into one Excel Plug-in. Register for this workshop to explore the latest features, tips and tricks with the current version of SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Microsoft Office. We will also provide an update on the convergence roadmap and discuss the best options based on several use cases.

TYPICAL COURSE PARTICIPANT:

Attendees will be users of the NetWeaver platform and whose source models consist of Business Warehouse (BW), BW HANA, and/or BPC Embedded models. No prior experience with Analysis is required, but familiarity with concepts surrounding SAP Business Warehouse (BW) and BExQuery Designer is helpful. This hands-on session focuses primarily on the Analysis plug-in, and how to connect to and analyze data sources including BEx queries and other BW InfoProviders.
